[opensuse-buildservice] Re: Building rpm with a unicode locale

Todd Rme writes:

As far as I can find, RPMs are always built using the C locale, which is non-unicode. This breaks a lot of python packages, which use the locale of the environment, and thus fail when it gets, for example, utf-8 in a readme file (which is extremely common). Is there any way to change the locale that rpm builds in to a utf8-based locale?

Just execute 'export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8' in the %build section.
